The treatment response in selected patients of refractory SBO who underwent surgery along with antimicrobials was better than the group who responded to antimicrobials alone. Surgery provided higher microbial yield resulting in culture-specific antimicrobials. The surgical group observed faster relief of symptoms, reduced hospital stay, and total treatment duration.
